Letters to the editor: Twenty percent increase in water bills unfair

Many citizens of Oshkosh have changed their faucets, shower heads, toilets, water heaters all designed to save water. As good citizens many of us complied with the call of the city, the county and the country to save water.

Households consumed less water, moreover, they saved a little more money on their water bill. The Oshkosh Northwestern (April 29) reported that the Oshkosh water rates are to go up 20 percent.

The citizen saves water usage, the citizen saves money, money on water bill, the city of Oshkosh water department loses a little money, and so what does the city do?

It increases our water rates by 20 percent. Is this fair to the citizen/consumer. I don't think so.
